Announcement: Join us in a Flex-Related Focus Group   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #108299 of 149538 |
Hi Everybody,

 Some of you may know me, but many probably not.  I'm Jeffry Houser, producer of The Flex Show, a flex related podcast.  I also run a DotComIt ( http://www.dot-com-it.com ), an Adobe Solutions Partner specializing in Flex Development.  DotComIt is working on a line of commercial Flex Components, and we'd like to get some feedback from the developer community. In order to do this, we will be conducting some focus groups over the course of the next few months and want to welcome all Flex developers to participate.

 What is a focus group? A focus group is a group of potential customers who are brought together to get their opinions, perceptions, and ideas that will help to shape the design, strategy, and direction of DotComIt's product development.

Why Participate in a DotComIt Flex Component Focus Group?

  1. Get $50 for your participation (paid via PayPal or iTunes).
  2. An opportunity to provide your input, perspective, and opinion(s) about Flex and the use of components within Flex.
  3. Hear the opinions and perspectives of other developers like yourself, first hand.
  4. Make sure your needs and wants are heard and perhaps help shape DotComIt's component development road map.

 To be eligible, you'll just have to fill out a short survey at http://www.dot-com-it.com/survey. We want to talk to developer's with all levels of experience, so no matter how much, or how little, you know about Flex we want to hear from you. The survey will close on Friday April 4th, and we will contact selected participants the following week to discuss specific details.

  The focus groups are being conducted by a business development firm on DotComIt's behalf. So, for those that know me, you can participate w/o being fear of conflict of interests or upsetting me.

 Please feel free to pass this on to anyone who you think may be interested.  Now back to your regularly schedule lists posts.

Hey Jeff, Instead of the $50, can we get a free license to the Flex components themselves? I'm surprised that no one has asked for that. Thanks, Bruce...

One thing really does surprise me about this. Do you really have to pay someone $50 to get an opinion? I suspect most Flex developers would participate...

I would suspect the opposite. Only a small percentage of developers participate in discussion groups. It might depend on how long the focus group takes and...

This is a bit of an experiment for the company who will be conducting the groups. As the announcement said, DotComIt will not be doing them, but a vendor whom...
